Our 2018 award categories are:

Outstanding Learner of the Year Awards

Do you have a student who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their learning at City Lit? Our students achieve great things - we’re seeking nominations for exceptional candidates worthy of an Outstanding Learner award.

Examples could include inspiring others in the class, realising a personal goal, demonstrating a longstanding commitment to learning, showing initiative to set up a business or community scheme, or someone who has used their course to dramatically change their career or circumstances.

This year, we also want to hear from students about their fellow learners who have inspired them - so if you want to recognise one of your peers, why not nominate them for this award?

Project of the Year Award

This award recognises a group project at City Lit that has reached out to communities, enabled opportunities for learning and personal development, or a project that has made a positive contribution to either our students or the wider London community.

Teacher of the Year Award

This award recognises a tutor who has provided a high quality learning experience, demonstrated exceptional knowledge of their subject matter, provided a memorable classroom experience, and helped students to realise their full potential.

It could also recognise someone who has inspired fellow City Lit teaching staff with their enthusiasm and endeavour, or someone who has made a significant impression within their chosen field during the last two calendar years.

Staff Colleague of the Year Award

This award recognises a non-teaching member of staff for their contribution to the City Lit community over the last two years, embodying the spirit of City Lit and going the extra mile to help colleagues or students.

Volunteer of the Year Award

This award recognises a City Lit volunteer who has made a real difference to the lives of students. We’re looking for nominations of volunteers who have inspired, supported and motivated students to unlock their full potential.

Wellbeing award

We recognise how learning can be hugely significant in contributing to positive wellbeing. We’re looking for nominations for students who have shown significant improvements in their wellbeing as a result of taking a course at City Lit, or tutors who have incorporated innovative wellbeing outcomes within their course programmes, or designed courses specifically to contribute to positive wellbeing.
